　　[2024·福州質(zhì)檢]My 16－year－old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.

　　Still, the firefighter's first words “You need to come up here to the Stillwater River” made me catch my breath, and his follow－up words gave me reliefW1：“Your son is OK.”

　　When I got to the river, I immediately saw the fire truck, ambulance and Anton, wrappedW2 with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.

　　I hurried over to him. “You OK？” I asked.

　　“Yeah，” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanationW3. I didn't get it from my son, however, who_tends_to_play_ his_cards _close_to_his_vest.

　　The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitationP1, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.

　　In an age in which the word “hero” is broadcastW4 with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self－centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.

　　Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig outP2 some more information from him－but he had preciousW5 little to say. The only words he said were “What's for supper？”

　　I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half wanted him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.S

　　本文講述的是作者的兒子救了一位落水?huà)D女，作者一直想知道事情發(fā)展的經(jīng)過(guò)，但未得到兒子的回答，從而使作者想到的是“靜水流深”的道理。

　　B．Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks

　　3．In the mother's eyes, what her son did was ________.

　　A．dangerous but interesting

　　B．meaningful but difficult

　　4．What might be the best title for the passage?

　　A．My Son, My Hero

　　B．Anton, A Silent Boy

　　C．A Good Deed

　　D．A Proud Mother

　　[2024·衡水三調(diào)]When I was young I wanted to be a model, so when a national contest was staged, I convincedW1 my parents to take me for an audition (試演). I was selected and told I had potentialW2. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有聲望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me goP1. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.

　　I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointmentW3 I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!

　　Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (沖刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment withP2 a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes. $500 for a photo shoot and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging.

　　The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn't receive a call, I grew more depressedW4.

　　The_final_straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short.S I was devastated (感到難以承受的)．

　　Years later, I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actuallyW5 love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.

　　本文講述的是作者年輕時(shí)有一個(gè)做模特的夢(mèng)想并一直執(zhí)著地堅(jiān)持著，但最終未能實(shí)現(xiàn)，這一經(jīng)歷使作者變得更加強(qiáng)大。

　　B．Being a model is not that easy.

　　C．We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others.
